FFmpeg currently uses a custom build system, this text attempts to document |
326ede48 |
some of its obscure features and options.

Makefile variables: |
326ede48 |
|
c535d089 |
V
Disable the default terse mode, the full command issued by make and its
output will be shown on the screen. |
326ede48 |
|
bc8e044d |
DBG
Preprocess x86 external assembler files to a .dbg.asm file in the object |
8881b035 |
directory, which then gets compiled. Helps in developing those assembler |
bc8e044d |
files.
|
c535d089 |
DESTDIR
Destination directory for the install targets, useful to prepare packages |
34c27ada |
or install FFmpeg in cross-environments. |
326ede48 |
|
1cf87e16 |
GEN
Set to ‘1’ to generate the missing or mismatched references.
|
c535d089 |
Makefile targets: |
326ede48 |
|
c535d089 |
all
Default target, builds all the libraries and the executables. |
326ede48 |
|
27ef7b1b |
fate |
8881b035 |
Run the fate test suite, note that you must have installed it. |
27ef7b1b |
fate-list |
8881b035 |
List all fate/regression test targets. |
27ef7b1b |
|
c535d089 |
install
Install headers, libraries and programs. |
326ede48 |
|
a30f1b15 |
examples
Build all examples located in doc/examples.
|
c535d089 |
libavformat/output-example
Build the libavformat basic example. |
326ede48 |
|
c535d089 |
libswscale/swscale-test |
8881b035 |
Build the swscale self-test (useful also as an example). |

tools/target_dec_<decoder>_fuzzer
Build fuzzer to fuzz the specified decoder.
|
326ede48 |
Useful standard make commands:
make -t <target> |
8881b035 |
Touch all files that otherwise would be built, this is useful to reduce
unneeded rebuilding when changing headers, but note that you must force rebuilds |
326ede48 |
of files that actually need it by hand then.
make -j<num> |
8881b035 |
Rebuild with multiple jobs at the same time. Faster on multi processor systems. |
326ede48 |
make -k |
8881b035 |
Continue build in case of errors, this is useful for the regression tests
sometimes but note that it will still not run all reg tests. |
